Chapter 252 Marrying a eunuch as a concubine
The story happened in the early years of Shunzhi in the Qing Dynasty. There was a person somewhere in Xian County. Because it has been a long time, people have forgotten his name. Let’s call him Zhang here.
Zhang's family was very wealthy, but his life span was short and he had no blessings. He and his wife died successively when he was just in middle age.
Three or four years later, his concubine also died.
One day, the hired workers of the Zhang family were traveling at night and encountered heavy rain, so they had to take shelter in the Dongyue Temple.
However, the heavy rain kept falling, so the hired workers had to stay overnight under the verandah of Dongyue Temple and wait until dawn for the rain to stop before leaving.
When the hired man was half asleep, he vaguely saw Zhang standing in front of the court in shackles, with his wife and concubines following behind him.
There was a god who looked like a city god in his dress. He bowed respectfully and said to Dongyue God: "Zhang is guilty of insulting these two people; but he saved their lives, so he can be considered meritorious." , the merit can be offset by the crime.”
Dongyue God said unhappily: "It's understandable that these two people endured humiliation and lived an ignoble life because they were afraid of death. But Zhang rescued these two people with impure intentions. He wanted to rape these two people. It can only be said that it was If he is guilty, how can he say that his merits are equal to his guilt?"
After saying that, he waved his hand and sent the City God away.
Zhang and his wife and concubines then went out.
The hired workers knew that these were ghosts and gods, and were so frightened that they did not dare to say a word.
After daybreak, the hired workers did not dare to stay for a moment. They hurried back and told the Zhang family what they had seen at night.
No one understood what was going on.
The servant who served Zhang when he was alive cried and said, "What a strange thing! The master was actually recorded as a sin because of that incident!"
The Zhang family didn't know why, so they hurriedly asked the servant if he knew something, but they kept it secret.
The servant said: "I didn't mean to hide it. Only we, father and son, know about this matter. Because I have received so much favor from my master, I swore not to tell it."
The Zhang family feels that only by speaking out can everyone know how to deal with it.
The servant hesitated for a long time before making up his mind and said: "Things happened in the previous dynasty. Now that the dynasty has passed, it doesn't matter if I tell you what happened in the past."
It turns out that this is a big secret: none of Zhang’s wives and concubines are actually women!
It was during the Tianqi period of the Ming Dynasty. After the nine thousand-year-old Wei Zhongxian killed Concubine Yu, the maids and eunuchs who usually accompanied Concubine Yu were secretly arrested and sent to Dongchang. In the end, they all died miserably.
Among them were two eunuchs, one named Fulai and the other Shuanggui. They encountered some noble person and escaped from them.
They were afraid of being chased by Dongchang, so they had no choice but to change their names and run away in hiding.
These two eunuchs were old acquaintances of Zhang, and Zhang happened to be doing business in the capital at that time, so they came to him at night.
Zhang took the two people into the secret room. Seeing their panic and mysterious appearance, the servant secretly peeked in through the crack in the door.
I only heard Zhang saying to them: "Your voice and appearance make you look neither male nor female. You are different from others. You will definitely be caught as soon as you go out.
If you change into women's clothing, you won't be easily recognized. But the behavior of two women without husbands living in other people's homes is very suspicious, and they will definitely be exposed as time goes by.
However, the two of them have already purified themselves and are no different from women. If you are willing to aggrieve yourself and become my wife and concubine, then you will be safe. "
The two eunuchs had no better way, so they managed to escape. They were afraid of being caught and killed by the people in Dongchang. After pondering for a long time, they finally had to give in.
Zhang then bought women's clothing and accessories for them and pierced their ears so that they could hang earrings. He also bought cartilage medicine and secretly bound their feet.
After a few months, the two eunuchs turned into two beautiful women.
So, Zhang hid the two of them in the car and took them home. He lied to outsiders and said that he married his wife and concubine in the capital.
These two people have lived in the palace for a long time. They both have fair skin and gentle manners, and they don't look like men at all.
This incident was far beyond people's expectations. No one would have thought that Zhang would marry two eunuchs, so no one noticed it.
The Zhang family is just surprised: neither of them are female celebrities, but they all think they are relying on Zhang's favor, so they are lazy and don't do it, and no one suspects that they are not women.
These two people felt Zhang's life-saving grace, so after Wei Zhongxian's death, they were still willing to live with Zhang until they grew old.
The servant sighed: "The master actually used sweet words to lure and coerce them into submission. It was not because he sympathized with them that they had nowhere to flee! He deceived everyone, but he could not deceive the gods! Therefore, it is appropriate for Dongyue God to punish him!"
It can be seen that people can be deceived, but ghosts and gods cannot be deceived!
